Jay Silverheels

When we think of Jay Silverheels, we are reminded of his character,
“Tonto,” the ever-faithful Indian friend to the “Masked Man.”
Tonto, who defended and upheld “law and order” in the wild West,
has become a legend of meteoric heights in American folklore. Sad
to realize, Jay Silverheels, a true hero in real life, has not been so
regarded.

The first Indian to star in a television series, Silverheels is an
institution–a permanent feature of Indian history, a symbol of the
red race, and a monument to it.

Quite possibly, he was the emancipator responsible for opening the
doors for Indians and other minorities to work as actors in Hollywood.

Wildest Westerns Magazine Awards!

Western film and television shows helped shape the moral values of many people in this country. Children grew up watching Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger, and many other heroes of the silver screen following the "Code of the West." The battle of wrong vs. right was the theme of virtually every Western movie and television show, and the right always prevailed.

Wildest Westerns is a Western magazine that is dedicated to revisiting those "thrilling tales of yesteryear" in the articles, interviews, reviews, and photos on our magazine pages. Some of America's most respected and remembered heroes and villains came from these Western genres. It is our hope that this Western magazine will awaken the memories in your heart, and also help bring to light the values of the Western to those who didn't have the benefit of knowing these wonderful heroes and villains. We will always remember them, and would like to say "Thank You" to all the actors, actresses, directors, producers, studios, and all the unsung heroes behind the scenes that brought us the Western.
